All-in-One Remote.
Waterfront: Wireless Wow

Simrad’s award-winning RemoteCommander is a remote control system operated from the company’s WR20 handheld wireless remote. The 5.3-by-2.2-inch waterproof handset features a 1.37-by-1-inch day-and-night backlit screen. No separate power supply is needed; the base unit simply connects to the SimNet network. Bluetooth, Class 1 wireless technology provides control and monitoring of SimNet-capable autopilots, instruments, VHF, chart plotters, echo sounders and combo navigators from 300 feet away.

The WR20 provides wireless control of Simrad’s advanced steering capabilities and gives navigators a heading information display in the palm of their hand. It facilitates steering the vessel from anywhere on board by entering course adjustments on the WR20 remote.

It’s also a full-function VHF handset that controls Simrad’s RS80 series VHF radios. Features include a dedicated autopilot key, keypad lock, MOB activation, a high-capacity, rechargeable lithium-ion battery and a recharge cradle.
